Logline

A world premiere: A bitterly brutal ballad ’bout brothers.

They say blood is thicker than water — and a fair amount of blood is spilled in this visually intriguing adaptation of Mark McNay’s novel of the same title about two very dissimilar brothers. Kai had been pretty happy not to have to deal with Mirko anymore. But when Mirko is released from prison and comes to collect his money, tensions escalate, as Kai has spent it in the meantime.
